On what grounds do you make the charge that I have aligned myself with the far
right? I have explicitly, and at great length, rejected the ideology and
program of the far right, especially the ethnic nationalist far right. My
politics are classically American liberal, in the Jeffersonian sense, in the
sense of the geniuses who founded the American Republic.
With regard to the neocons, we are faced with a fascinating dilemma. The
neocons are dominated by militant and messianic Jewish ethnic nationalists who
have been ringleaders of the greatest foreign policy catastrophe in American
history (the Iraq War). Not satisfied with this ruinous adventure, they are
now agitating loudly for an American war against Iran. At the same time they
have been leading an aggressive assault on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of
Rights.
Some of the most articulate critics of the neocons have leanings towards the
white ethnic nationalist camp -- Kevin MacDonald and Patrick Buchanan are two
examples.
Which camp is worse: the Jewish ethnic nationalists or the white ethnic
nationalists? If you believe that the Iraq War, and current American Mideast
policy, are unmitigated disasters, you might well conclude that the neocons are
the bigger problem by far.
Most critics of the neocons have no white nationalist ties, by the way, and no
ethnic nationalist agenda. Most of them are classical American liberals or
conservatives who are disgusted by ethnic fascism in all its forms and
mutations.
Are you more troubled by Elliott Abrams, Douglas Feith and Norman Podhoretz or
by Kevin MacDonald, Patrick Buchanan and Paul Craig Roberts? How do you
prioritize your concerns on these issues? What is your basic value system?
What's your algorithm?
The critiques of the neocons by Kevin MacDonald and Patrick Buchanan have been
dead on, don't you think? They've nailed them cold.
By the way, the neocons are increasingly getting into bed with white
nationalists -- see, for instance, the developing ties of David Horowitz and
his associates with David Gaubatz. Much neocon rhetoric and hate speech
against Islam and Arabs is straight from the Nazi playbook.

Unlike you, I would never align myself w/those to the Right (far,
far to the Right) of the neo-cons (Kevin MacDonald, Pat Buchanan, Ron
Paul)to fight the neo-cons. Back in 1980 when I was a student at CSUN,
Tom Metzger of the White Aryan Resistance spoke there, I was active in
a group, CED led by Tom Hayden. With help from La Raza and other
student radicals, progressives and liberals we quickly organized a
very large protest. When the JDL showed up, we chased Irv Rubin across
the street.
I am beginning to think that you would accept the help of a David
Duke front group, "No wars For Israel, " rather than say Jewish Voice
for Peace or Tikkun.
The enemy of my enemy is again not my friend.
